The mission of the State Parent/Family Involvement Plan is to ensure all Texas children access quality education, enabling them to reach their potential and participate in social, economic, and educational opportunities. Rooted in the belief that education is vital to our state’s welfare, the plan emphasizes that a strong public education system depends on dedicated family involvement. Our vision is for parents, families, educators, and communities to collaborate as full partners, holding each other accountable and equipped to improve student achievement, while schools provide welcoming environments and address barriers to family participation.

Title I, Part D, Subparts 1 and 2 establish the Prevention and Intervention Programs for Children and Youth Who Are Neglected, Delinquent, or At Risk. This law provides supplemental funding to state and local educational agencies as a part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).

These funds are dedicated to improving educational services to children in facilities for the neglected or delinquent. The goal is to enable program recipients to meet the same student performance standards that all children in the state are expected to meet. Improved academic performance will facilitate the transition of students from correctional programs to further education or employment. The Department of Contracts, Grants and Financial Administration at the Texas Education Agency (TEA) administers two formula programs under this law - Title I, Part D, Subpart 1 (State Agencies – Windham School District and Texas Juvenile Justice Department) and Title I, Part D, Subpart 2 (LEAs).
